I see that there is no type of image stabilization for this lens. I photograph barrel racing and other equestrian events, at least half being indoors. How much of a difference will there be having no VC, or what lens would you recommend?
Asked by: Kaylee
If you are using a full frame camera you will need to keep the shutter speed above 1/200 to reduce the chance of getting blurry images due to camera shake when using this lens, that does not have image stabilization, handheld. Since to freeze action of fast action you would keep the shutter speed above 1/200 anyway, it might not be a problem for you to use this lens. The biggest problem would be this lens focus is slow, not great for fast action. You might want to look at this model that has a faster focus motor. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1317271-REG/tamron_afa025c_700_sp_70_200mm_f_2_8_di.html
